My parents aren't abusive, but its frustrating because I'm the child who has their back constantly but I'm the one who gets their scathing remarks when things go wrong.

But its not even the insults I'm frustrated with the most. Its typical of parents in my culture to be harsh critics. I'm more frustrated with the fact that I get reminded over and over again that my parents did me the ultimate favor, like being here was a blessing. And it is, no doubt about it, I'm thankful to them for it. But not in the way they want me to be. I'm getting more opportunities than I would have there, but I'm still in limbo, constant stress, and these opportunities can be snatched away at any time.

It's the hand that I was dealt with and I accept that. I know that God only burdens you with the stress you can take. No doubt my siblings would have caved in if they were in my situation. However, I always feel like the "you should be grateful to us" speech should be given to my siblings who got to reap all the benefits without paying for it. I get temporary benefits, but not before I get dragged thru the mud. In that respect I'm bitter.

My life is connected to them. My parents expect everything of me, too much was invested in me, but my siblings get away with " do what you want and be happy."

Like WTF is this?? Why do they get to live a normal life, while mine is in eternal limbo?
